Help ! - Can no longer copy backup files, nor access the drive vols via USB

Need help. I have a WD 320 gig drive with (3) Partitions:
1. Mac OS File system
2. Mac OS File system
3. MS DOS file system
I am trying to migrate the files and dir's on this drive to another, but am unable to. History:
The drive was used as a USB/FW backup. Time machine can access and write to the Mac partitions. The drive has been backed up both via FW/USB and Airport disk. Drive is now filling up and I cannot access the backup files (dir's) to copy them: " Sorry, you do not have sufficient access priviledges..."
If I disconnect and try to migrate the files manually via FW or USB - I get a similar error. Windows is visible both online and off. What gives ? Is this a result of Airport disk ? Time Machine ? or both ?
I used to be able to migrate files on and off just fine. By only recourse will be to partition and erase it seems. Need any help ......thanks

Your Template code is incomplete / corrupted. 
That's why you can't edit it.
Try opening your .dwt file in a plain text editor like NotePad.  Remove the editable regions from code.  Save.  Open in DW.
You will need to SaveAs Template (same name as the one used by your child pages).  Add editable regions to match the ones in your child pages.  Save.

  • Can no longer copy and paste filenames from the finder to other Apps?

    Did Leopard remove the ability to copy a file or folder name in the finder, and then paste that into a text editor?
    I have a need to copy file and folder names from the finder, then paste those names into BBEdit. I've been doing this for years. Now with Leopard, I can copy the file or folder names, and even see them in the clipboard of the Finder. But when I try to paste them into BBEdit, TextEdit, Word, Pages... nothing happens. And Paste is grayed out in the target application. As if I had never copied the item in the first place.
    Can anyone else copy filenames in the finder? Or do I have a system-specific problem?

    Never mind. Apparently there was something going wrong with the Finder. I ran Onyx, and things are back to normal now. I was concerned because I actually saw similar but not identical behavior on two Leopard machines. Running Onyx on the 2nd one now.

  • After creating new partition with iPartition, on a nonbootdrive, I can no longer see any files stored on that drive.

    I have a Hitachi disk that I use for media (photos, videos, etc..)
    After using Ipartition to create a new partition on this disk, none of the files are visible any more.
    The disk was never partiton before so this was the first partition created.
    When I launch iPartition again, I notice that I now have a Microsoft FAT or NTFS type partion and a HFS partiton however there is no data at all under Finder.
    What should I do to recover my files ?

    you don't need 3rd party to shrink and create a 2nd partition.
    One partition is still partition, and there are others like Lion Recovery, GUID, EFI on there.
    Repair the drive and make sure iPartition does what you want and current. Or just use DU instead.
    And backup.

  • This is actually a FF 4 RC question...but I can no longer open PDF files...the page just goes blank. No option in applications to set a PDF viewer as default. Help!

    How do you open PDF files in FF4 RC? The application section in options doesn't have PDF as an option to associate with a program. Whenever I click on a PDF file, I just get a blank tab.

    Hi there,
    You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
    You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
    Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
    Nathan

  • I can no longer copy multiple files by clicking on the first file and holding the shift key and clicking on the last file. This worked until recently. I must have hit the wrong button at some point

    I have been able to copy multiple photos on my Mac Book Pro by selecting the first picture and then holding the shift key while I select the last picture. This highlights all the pictures and then I can use the copy command. Recently that ability to select multiple photos (or files) has stopped working. I can only guess that I hit a combination of buttons that caused this feature to stop working. Any ideas on how to get this working again.
    Thanks - Mike

  • How can I transfer iTunes backup from my external hard drive to a USB thumb drive via my MacBook Air?

    I sold my MacBook Pro to downsize to a more managable MacBook Air. I backed up iTunes to my external HD before selling my Pro, but don't have room for my whole library to the Air until I upgrade the size of my SSD. I want to see if I can transfer just the iTunes library from my external HD to a thumb drive using my MacBook.
    Also, is there a way to manage and edit my iTunes library on my external HD so I can at least download some of the library to my Air?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Regards.

  • I can no longer copy files manually to our external drive?

    Hi - I'm not sure what happened here, and I'm hoping someone can help. Basically, we are starting to film library programs for local TV. A colleague at the high school with a lot of experience was kind enough to buy us a mybook external drive (one terabyte!) to store our video and audio files. We use an iMac and two eMacs for the teen digital film club and have also just been given a white macbook specifically for production. So -
    We (my teen assistant and I) had been able to move files over to the drive manually before. But, on getting the macbook, I got some raw film footage onto it, edited it, and then wanted to get that film onto the mybook in order to make room for a second hour of film to be edited on the macbook. But -
    As I tried to show my colleague how to connect the external drive to the macbook, some message came up very quickly - did I want to use the mybook to back up the macbook using Time Machine? I tried to click "no" - there was a scary warning about losing all the info on the drive, and I did not want that to happen! I just wanted to be able to move stuff between the computers and the drive, as we have been doing. I don't know what I did wrong, but, after connecting the drive to the macbook, there is an empty file on the external drive which has the same name as the new macbook, and we can no longer copy anything manually. How can I correct this?

    Just to let everyone know: my problem is solved - after a fashion.
    When I contacted customer support, I got told the formatting of the drive was not a problem; they sent them out this way so they would be universally compatible. But, since we were sharing the drive between macs, the tech support person thought it would be a good idea to reformat it. He also explained that the original formatting didn't allow transfers of more than 4 gigs - a problem for us, since we are regularly working with larger files.
    So he told us how to reformat using disc utility in Leopard. And then we discovered our second problem. The disc could not be reformatted. Nor could it be verified or repaired. It is too damaged to use.
    We now have a case number and therefore should be able to replace the hard drive. So that's what happened.

  • I backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?

    i backup my iphone on my pc and copy backup file into drive D then i setup new OS on my pc. after that i copy the backup file into itunes backup folder but itunes can't find the backup file to restore my iphone. how can i restore my iphone?

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

    i owned a N900 (now sold out)
    before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
    now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
    1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
    2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
    urgent help needed
    thanks in advance

    The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
    You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

  • I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.

    SAFARI CAN'T OPEN PDF'S ?
    I can no longer open pdf files in safari 6.02.  It worked fine up until  2 weeks ago.  The pdf's open in Foxfire and Chrome browsers.
    I can also download the pdf and open in acrobat directly.  Safari only shows the file as ASCII characters.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    GerryG860

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • IMac is not booting - How can I copy my files to an external drive

    Hello,
    my iMac (late 2009 model, OS X 10.7.4) is not booting anymore. The iMac stopps booting at the Apple logo and the spinning gear.
    I tried a couple of things that I found here in the community but nothing worked.
    start in safe mode => iMac shuts off after a couple of seconds
    start with safe boot (Shift-Command-V) => I'll get a couple of error messages, e.g. disk0s2: I/O error.   SATA WARNING: Enable Drive PHY PM failed
    reset the NVRAM/PRAM => no change
    But when I try to get access on the HD with the FireWire Target Disk Mode, I can see the following folders: Applications, Library, System, Users. But the statusbar shows 0 items for each folder and it shows that the HD has 650 GB available. I have the original 1TB HD. When I try to start OS X from an external drive I can see the same folders. I tried Data Rescue 3 to scan my files, but the software stopps with an error.
    My TimeMachine backup was not working, so I have no actual backup and need to find a solution to copy my files to an external drive.
    Instead of Data Rescue 3, I can use TechTools Pro 6 alternatively.
    Would Data Rescue 3 find files if I erase and create a new partition on the HD?
    What I found out so far, it looks like a corrupted file system.
    Have anyone an idea or a tip, how I can copy my files?
    I would be more than happy if someone can help me.
    Thank you very much for all answers in advance.

    The internal drive is failing, or has failed. You may not be able to save the data.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    How to back up and restore your files
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • Can not copy any file or empty the trash

    Hello,
    I'm using a Macbook (white) with OSX 10.6.4 and am having an extremely annoying problem which has three symptoms:
    1. I *can not empty the trash* (safely or not) at all.
    2. I *can not copy any file*, anywhere.
    3. I *can not move anything to the "Applications"* folder.
    I try restarting the computer, repairing the permissions, running the latest version of Onyx and so on, but nothing works. I always get the following error message (when copying a file or emptying the trash)
    "The operation can't be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
    And this even though I repaired the permissions three times today.
    To be honest, this makes my Mac pretty useless, and is very frustrating.
    Can anybody help? I've browsed a lot of other threads about this, tried everything, but to no avail.
    Come on, this is my first Mac, don't tell me I have to reinstall the OS from zero, Windows-style.

    Those are the normal permissions but if you are logged in as admin, hit the unlock button and enter your password they should no longer be greyed out.
    You can try chmoding them from root through the terminal if you are up for it. I'd also try booting up in SafeMode and seeing if that allows access.

  • When downloading is complete, I can not see, run, nor access the file; it only appears in the "Downloads" window (and not the specified folder) and the only options permitted are to delete it, or to go to the download web site; what's blocking it?

    My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
    I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
    Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
    To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.

    It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

  • I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

    I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
    I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer.  Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
    have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
    When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
    Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
    Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
    If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
    If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
    spooling".
    I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
    In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
    "Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
    bank statement.
    So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
    printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
    However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
    PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
    So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
    THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
    THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
    TO PRINT THEM.
    NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
    the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
    And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
    no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
    I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

    There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.
